I was far too mature to fall for this childish crap.

Oh no wait I ordered one!

ps for those that can’t see it yet, the sub dial thing is the head looking down and to the viewers left, the 2 black blobs are eyes and the fin is on top.

When will they do the Castle LE? Kate wore her dad's Sppedmaster in the show after all. Maybe on the 10th anniversary of the end of the show.

How did the reservation process work? Could you choose a number or was it assigned in order? Did you have to place a deposit?

randomly generated from what I could tell.

I still think it looks like a blob. It was a good idea that was not executed that well.

Random by default. You could opt to select a specific number if you wanted. I chose not to try and pick a specific number, because of the problems with the website. Didnt want to miss opportunity.

Same as last time you could choose a number, but I think if you tried it would have been too hectic. I tried for the same number as the ST 1 I have but it was gone so I just took the number it gave me. Started on a 300 number tried for a number and then by the time I got back it was in the 1000s

The guys in south canada got a fair reminder this time so they have no reason for whining like last year

I don't remember to many "South Canadians" whining about the last one, so your post may be slightly geographically challenged...

Hope Omega learned their lessons from the previous SpeedyTuesday and that the latest one won’t have a similar messed up delivery schedule.

Depends if all 2000 buyers dump in September at the same time or the resale is slow and staggered

Not that anyone really cares about my opinion on this matter but I think that the watch looks fantastic - except for that "ultraman head blob" which was a serious mistake. It just isn't well executed, and adds nothing - just detracts. Additionally I think that the case back could have been better, but that's not that big of a deal. At $7100 I didn't even bother to try to reserve though - as much as I like it, it is far outside what I can currently swing.

I think Snoopy has closer relations to NASA and Apollo history, very closely related to the Moonwatch idea. Also the caseback is very special.
This one is purely related to a TV Show, albeit a very interesting one.
So I think Snoopy will still be stronger. I think.
